Apocalyptic DEATH LOOP

[Moonlight]

I've been reading many an online Newspaper lately when I came across an article in the Mail Online about apocalyptic DEATH LOOPs, having never heard of it before I decided to give it a read. Is the article below true?, or has the reporter sensationalised everything in it, it's a British Tory supporting newspaper so I know they would be a Republican Newspaper in the USA.

Wow, this is a headline grabber is it not?, most of you in the USA will know if its true or not so lets have your input on the article.

Why San Francisco is in the grip of an apocalyptic DEATH LOOP: A boom in working from home has trashed the local economy, while drugs and homelessness spiral thanks to soft-touch policing. Will Britain pay heed to this disturbing warning?

So they are blaming San Francisco's problems on people working from home and "soft touch policing"?

Work at home and soft policing? :har: More like California ‘s lack of transparency and corruption siphoning off funds meant to help going to pet projects instead.

I wouldn’t be too concerned Moonlight. Every other state in the Union saw declines in homelessness, I’d look to see what they’re doing. So long as you don’t follow California’s example and you’ll be fine.

From 2014 to 2020, homelessness in California soared — by an estimated 42 percent — while the rest of the country saw a 9 percent decline. At the same time, federal money meant to help the neediest poured into state and local coffers. Today, California tops the nation in spending on homelessness.

This disconnect was a key point at the SIEPR Spring Policy Forum on homelessness that convened nearly 200 advocates, state and local government officials, academics, business executives and nonprofit leaders who are working the front lines of the crisis.

“Where is all the money going?” asked Mark Duggan, the Trione Director of the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research (SIEPR), during his opening remarks at the institute’s first in-person event since the COVID-19 pandemic began.
